Elos posted:Anyone know a magic trick to make the vehicle keybinds work? I've changed movement to ESDF, use/enter/exit to T etc. and now every time I hop into a car and try to accelerate I jump out and look like an idiot. It doesn't help that my use key is what puts the gas mask on originally because every time I jump into a vehicle I instantly have the mask on my face. I remember Ravic/Blackmesatech complaining about this in the alpha. Said it was an issue already back in BF4. I have an issue with mapping 3p view to a mouse button in BF1. Worked fine in BF4.

I've been having a great time, but I really hope they release Scar. I enjoyed it a lot in the Alpha, and I'm worried I'm gonna burn myself out. I'm 15 hours in, and one map is probably gonna get old. My favourite medic gun is now the Mondragon Marksman. It's fun to outsnipe snipers. The game is really quite glitchy, but I have faith that the worst ones will be squished. Shadowplay is great for capturing all the little treats. https://gfycat.com/CarefulInfatuatedEastrussiancoursinghounds

Now I'm annoyed by how many completely new players there are. I sometimes get on VoIP and give tips, but yesterday, I tried to ask our squad leader to mark some flags, and about five minutes later (maybe when he looked up his push to talk key) he shouted "nobody cares!"  Psh, guess he means he doesn't care about ranking up and unlocking cooler weapons.

Bloody Hedgehog posted:I wish there was a toggle in BF games that was "Never Be Squad Leader". I just don't want to be in that position where I'm making GBS threads up someones elses session because I'm not setting waypoints or giving orders. But with people dropping in and out of squads, eventually you get promoted to squad leader, and as rare is it may be, some people are then looking to you for direction. A step backwards from BF4. There you can set it so that you only set orders through the commo rose. Also, if you request an order and the squad leader does not respond with an order, after a while, you are automatically promoted to squad leader. And that is a real points piñata.

As a counterpoint, I was playing with my friend today, and because we were just gonna play "a round or two", we didn't bother firing up teamspeak - but we would use ingame VoIP here and there. We had a super cool squad leader who would occasionally chip in on VoIP, mark flags, revive like a boss, and was just generally a cool dude. One other guy wasn't really communicating, but was obviously listening in and responding. And our squad was beasting it (and our couple of quick rounds became many, many rounds and a lot of laughs). That's one big reason why I play BF. Ohmygodsquad posted:Is anyone else finding the attack plane better than the fighter at shooting down other planes? It just seems to do more damage. I dunno, I'm no great pilot, and never even tried the fighter plane for the longest time, but it suddenly felt like cheat mode. So nimble and quick. Being able to get behind practically any other plane is better than superior firepower. Of course in the attack plane, I did this with the tank hunter cannon shell... https://gfycat.com/IdioticNervousFairyfly

Shadowplay is such great fun - I set it to record the last 1 minute, then when something cool happens, I just press a key combination. Unrelated, can you unlock the weapons now? I unlocked them through https://www.battlefield.com/career, but I think they fixed the glitch now. You need the AT gun.

afkmacro posted:There is an emblem editor in the battle log replacement companion app horseshit. It was just locked during beta. The emblem goes on the side of your weapons where the nation flags currently are displayed in white. I was hoping there wouldn't be. It's gonna ruin the aesthetics of the game to have Sonic the Hedgehog fanart on the sides of tanks. As was mentioned in the other thread, Cosby was the emblem used for a long time before the allegations came out. I probably played many weeks after the accusations, not even remembering I had the emblem still. I only changed it after a friend remarked on it.

Inkel posted:I had no idea there was an artillery feature or even have to use it. I set the mcom to call in artillery a few times as a defender, but it didn't seem to do anything. And as an attacker, I never noticed getting shelled on... so I did wonder if it's just a spotting mechanism. Gonkish posted:Train: Is a train. Kinda seems mostly an annoyance, and is easily avoided. Deadly as gently caress, but can only really affect three points and is easy enough to hide from. Mobile spawn usage is nice but not as effective as the zeppelin. Mobile spawn? If I didn't get a seat when it spawned, it was constantly full. Nobody was using it as a spawn point it seemed, just wanted to shoot big bang bangs.

Fresh Shesh Besh posted:Hey, nerds, just a heads up: The game is 22% off on Green Man Gaming right now if you have an account. Up from 12% just recently. I suggest you grab it now because I wouldn't feel comfortable holding out for 25%. Tempted, and I do trust GMG. But if there are problems, from what I hear, Origin support is a lot better... I have pre-ordered games through GMG, and it is always so annoying waiting for the keys to finally be released... Always rumours that there are problems getting keys on release day, etc.

Official system requirements:quote:MINIMUM SPECS Pretty beefy minimum specs on the CPU/RAM. Maybe some of the other maps are more punishing. People are laughing at the AMD equivalent, but apparently BF1 can use the extra cores. I can't even remember if I have hyperthreading enabled currently on my 17 2600k@4.4GHz. I wonder if it could actually take advantage now.

Haha, I laughed way too hard at this. Tinged with memories, it was. In BF4, I would leave vehicles too easily, so I changed enter/exit vehicle from E to T. Now I keep jumping out of a vehicle and I have put my gas mask on for no reason.

It really took me a while to get used to mag dumping to be able to do anything with support weapons. Some of the movement seems a bit clunky to me. Throwing med packs and jumping, or basically doing anything after throwing a nade. In case anyone cares, I have a five-year-old i7 2600k@4.4GHz, 16GB slow RAM, an overclocked GTX970, and I get 1080p 90-100 on high settings. I actually dropped some to medium or even low, because I want the frames for my 144Hz G-SYNC monitor, so I get pretty consistently 100-110 FPS.

I do find the medal system aggravating, but I guess it does kind of feel like an achievement when you get one. For a change, I went for the sniping one. I am terrible with sniper rifles, but I went on a tear on Amiens and got the back half of the medal done there. Ended up top of my team (we lost by 20 tickets), just by trying to be at least a little aggressive.

Looten Plunder posted:-There are no microphone options in the menus apart from a keybind. How can I test my mic? How do I even know anyone can hear me. It might be on the scoreboard that you can see a little speaker when you are transmitting. But, yeah. It's not amazing. I still use it to get ammo and revives from random squad mates, and occasionally someone talks back, so it does seem to work. For medic, I push quite hard, but hang back very slightly as I gas nade the objective then pick people off with the mondragon.

I play 40p operations in the EU and have seen the attackers win or get close to the end of the second map many times. 64p is just too spammy. Probably most people use it as TDM where the enemies are funnelled in on a plate.
